“Ordered a custom cake for my mom’s 40th birthday and they did not disappoint at all. When I walked in I was greeted with a smile and felt very welcomed and accommodated. Price was more than affordable for the size of the cake. The cake itself was very filling, perfectly well balanced not too sweet and you were definitely satisfied after each bite. The whole family loved it and will definitely come back here for more custom cakes.“
“Been coming here for over 20 years! My family and I absolutely love this self serve family owned bakery. The baked goods are authentic and always fresh. We've tried a variety of their baked goods and tres leche cakes - everything is always delicious. They have a build-your-own torta option as well for lunch. I don't speak Spanish very well and all the staff speaks minimal English however their positive attitude and kindness is always still apparent in all of our interactions! Definitely stop by if you're in the area!“
“Great small bakery. The options may be limited but the quality is high. Follow their Instagram to keep a close eye on their inventory as I hear they typically sell out quick (only so much product can be made for a day's sales).I guess they are known for their Tahini cookies. I've had several items from their menu and I would recommend fulfill your sweet tooth here.First thing I ate were the peanut butter cookies, and boy did it have peanut butter in it - grab a drink to help wash it down! The bakery takes pride in their baked goods and it is well worth their hard work.“

“Foodwise, is truly a wonderful story, somebody in the kitchen knows what to do and that translates all the way to our braines stirring waves of good sensations.Their turkish culture habits, the hours limitation for certain types of food, do not always overlap with other's schedule or expectations. The staff is very polite and forthcoming but that's so much they can do.The atmosphere is a bit bizzare, the music for example, is not in tune with the specific, the way that the tables are set, suggests rather a train fare than a regular restaurant.Their sweets shop however, is there to take away all possible clouds and make your day.Parking: Plenty of parking“
“This restaurant has a very cozy vibe. Keep in mind it's a smaller restaurant that has a good crowd, so finding a place to sit can be hard during rush hour. The workers are all incredibly kind. I would highly recommend getting their breakfast sandwich, it is so so so amazing. And of course nothing says "breakfast" quite like a slice of chocolate cake from The Bear.“
“We recently celebrated my daughter’s Sweet 16 birthday party. We needed a cake large enough to feed about 150 people and was able to work with Weber’s on the design we wanted within a short time frame, since the previous person we were working with cancelled a month away from the party. Overall we had a great experience from ordering to delivery!“
“Amazing customer service, and delicious treats ! I had a corporate event, and we wanted some light sweets for the occasion. The owner of the establishment walked me through all things offered and explained the process, and I haven’t been this satisfied in a long time with any whole sale establishment. I highly recommend for any type of parties, corporate events, or even just for you and your family! Will be connecting again soon.“
“This was a hidden gem to me. It is a great sunlit spot for everyone in the village. This felt welcoming and warm. Let me tell you about the coffee, spectacular. I felt like I was back in Paris! The only draw back is too many choices and all delicious. Plus the staff knows they are the best…thanks Kelsey (who is my new bestie ?) for the info about everything being good, you were right!!“
“We stopped in for a special treat. They had a good selection of donuts. The shop was decorated nicely and the man who was working there was inviting, helpful and nice. We decided on 6 donuts, Boston creams, pistachio, blueberry cheesecake, apple cider and bacon maple. We enjoyed them all! The prices are average for this type of shop and it does have a nice area to sit and eat if you want to do that. Overall, I recommend stopping in for a delicious donut. We will be going back whenever we are in Elmhurst again.“

“Of all the places I've tried around the city, Taste of Colombia has the best coffee anywhere in Chicago. My favorite part though is the wonderful people who work there! I feel super fortunate to have them just two blocks from my house. Make sure to give them a try!How cool this place is! They have the best coffee and desserts in all of Chicago, but the best thing is the people who work there. Many thanks to Naima, Toni and Alejandra. Always a pleasure to spend some time with you every weekend!“
“Delicious cookies! My favorite is chocolate chip! Staff is super friendly and the place looks super clean. Recommend 100%.Parking: There is plenty of parking spaces.Kid-friendliness: Kids can actually see the staff baking and packaging the cookies.Wheelchair accessibility: The store is spacious for wheelchair.“
“I hired Roughedges Confectionery for my daughters’ bridal shower after sampling some of their treats at local events. They were not only beautiful but insanely delicious! Everyone at the event commented on her desserts saying they were not only gorgeous, but the best cupcakes, flourless chocolate bites and cookies they’ve ever eaten. Kai and her team went above and beyond to make the event perfect by being so easy to work with, displayed the desserts so beautifully and actually had a member of her team pick mint sprigs from her garden that I forgot to bring! I can’t say thank you enough for making the event just perfect!Dietary restrictions: Kai also made gluten free options for several guests which were delicious!“
“Great bakery! The pastries were so fresh! We got the mango cake and strawberry crepe cake. They were both really good but something about the mango cake made it just perfect! So glad I stopped in to check it out. I'll be back! Coffee here was also nice.“
“I was walking around the neighborhood and noticed the sign for New Dokil Bakery. Dokil 독일 means German/Germany in Korean, and the sign reminded me of one of my favorite Kdramas Reply 1988.This store is a cute neighborhood bakery that sells delicious Korean breads, some with cream fillings. The bread tastes fresh and homemade, and it's priced reasonably. The owner is also very friendly and welcoming.They makecakes to order as well, so next time I have a special occasion I'll try ordering from New Dokil Bakery.I like to support local businesses over international franchises, and I'm impressed that they have been in operation for over forty years!“
“Very welcoming bakery with amazing breads, home made snacks, focaccia, pastries, donuts, packaged speciality italian products and much more. Highly recommend stopping by try for yourself!!Parking: A Parking lot to pull into and lots of spaces very close to entrance.“
“I don’t understand how this cake turned out better than I expected. I was so scared that I was going to be disappointed because I have been in the past with other cake places but this one was not the case. I read the reviews first before my decision to get the cake done here. And I absolutely have no regrets. I just told them it was a Care Bears 1st birthday. I honestly look forward to having my future cakes made here. They were so beautiful that I had wished we didn’t have to eat them. And not only were they beautiful but delicious. Half Oreo and half guava. There was only a small bit left. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart to this talented team that work here. We could not have been any more happier with the results.“
“Love Racin bakery in this place fresh daily I'm always satisfied what ever I purchase there my biggest thumbs up is the buttter cokies I usually get it's far more superior than other bakery I use to purchase from one bite and it's obvious freindly staff“
“I love the Oak Park bakery and everyone that works there! It's always a breeze to pick up a treat on my way home and the prices are very reasonable. This will always be my go-to bakery for both the quality of the food and the wonderful service.“
“The date maamoul and baklava are affordable compared to other places, and they are very good. I also really liked the soft knafeh. My father even said that the baklava of Nazareth Sweets are the best baklava that he’s ever tried. He also said that it would be good to give as a gift or bring to a party. Even my little sister, who is quite a picky eater, really liked how the baklava tasted.The bakery smells good, and the cashier gave my mother a free piece of baklava.I really recommend this place because of its delicious desserts, and I plan on going here again and again.“
“Ate at Harvest Pancake House & Grill for a late breakfast/early lunch and loved it! We got the country skillet and a chipotle chicken avocado panini with fries. Everything was fresh and delicious. I was surprised how good and moist the chicken was. Place was clean and fresh. Service was great and the waitress were all very friendly and polite.“
“Big fan of sandwich Saturdays. The mafalda bread, mortadella and pesto sandwich last week was so good. Hoping it'll be back again. Also bought a few slices of the tres leches cake with sandwiches this weekend and everyone enjoyed them.“
“Very authentic Mediterranean food with an Iraqi influence. I went with my friend from Iraq and he knew exactly what to order. (We ordered a lot so he could show me the menu) The ground beef kabobs were perfectly prepared and delicious. The beef shawarma was nicely charred and very good. I'm not a big fan of Baba Ghannoush but this one was very good. The hummus was fantastic too. I've had better falafel though. I would not have typically ordered okra soup but I'm pleased my friend ordered it. It was amazing. I'd pass on the white bean soup though. The server was from Iraq and the place is small but if you want authentic cuisine, this is your place!“
“I love this place and appreciate having an Italian bakery being near by. An authentic one serving lots of delicious baked item and Gelato /sorbetto,coffee. I was sad becaus3 a couple times I ordered some pasteri3s,they were old and also the Gelato and sorbetto were freezer burned. I guess I'll stick with the cannoli which is made fresh and probably in summer the Gelato will be fresher.“
“The best cheese cake I have ever had. Good place to stop if you need to bring dessert. So many flavors to choose from. I highly recommend Eli's. I can remember when Eli's restaurant was downtown on East Chicago Ave., We would have dinner and cheesecake for dessert. I always have one in the freezer, for unexpected guest. Peter K.“
“Michelle and her team catered my wedding, and they made every single dream of mine come true. Every guest said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. The professionalism, attention to detail, and quality of the food is unmatched. Our family is a loyal customer of the restaurant, and we have never been disappointed by the food. They truly go above and beyond.“
“Where do I start on my journey to this "schweet" treat? It all started a few months ago of seeing this business online ...I could not manage to get the time right I was too late or to early or it was closed....But finally the stars ALIGNED and on Saturday I pulled up at 10:30am waiting for the 11am opening...to buy six amazing, delicious and delightful moo-moo cheesecakes (2 keylimes 3 pecan delight and 1 strawberry)...a bowl of chili and a candle ..!I met one of the owners who went above and beyond in customer service, she was kind, patient and efficient she didn't let me wait for the chili ,which I appreciated.The strawberry was the tester cheesecake which both my mother and daughter had a sample of we all loved and enjoyed this cheesecake especially my self which I put the remaining into the freezer to get cold quick ( best decision) to eat in the dark sitting at the kitchen table savoring the freshness the sweet tartness of the strawberries the sweet smoothness of the cheesecake the buttery graham crust slightly sweet whipped cream omg...I will be coming back for more soon..another reason why to support this amazing business is they help alot and give back to the community, they offer their shop for events."There the Cheesecake People".“
“I live in the UK and wanted to surprise a friend who lives in Chicago with a birthday cake. These guys were willing to go the extra mile, literally, and deliver for me as it was a little tricky for me to collect. My friend was very happy with the cake.“
“This is based off real time. My patient recommended me this bakery and wanted to get my partner some tiramisu. Mind you, it's cash ONLY. The tiramisu is $2.75 so take note. The service was quick but I only had $10 with me. I asked for 5 but then asked for 4 then 3 because of the cash I had. The server was talking to another customer in Italian and was already distracted. Once I saw the price, I told her only 3. She gave me this weird and impatient look and was very rude. Hence why I took 1 star off. It's prolly good food, just very hostile environment if you're not Italian. Update: taste wise the tiramisu is a little on the drier side and has a small layer of chocolate in the bottom. I would prefer going to pasta fresh in Chicago since that tiramisu is a little more moist and fresh.“
“Wow! This young lady is so sweet! AND the sub was delish.After walking in I noticed they didn’t accept Credit cards. I told her I’d be right back. She offered for me to pay next time! As much as I think she is crazy for offering that, where in this world would anyone ever say that??? How genuinely nice! I am from out of town so yes, I went to grab cash.Thank you! The bread is amazing!“
“The cookies are delicious. The brownies are out of this world. And the cinnamon rolls (just had my first one there) are truly the best I've ever had in my life. The staff is warm, friendly and welcoming. Five stars all around for Blackout Baking Co.!“
“I've been coming to this bakery for at least 20+ years and it's always a treat. Whether getting a slice of their real Italian pizza or a cannoli or some bread/rolls or ordering a cake - you won't go wrong. Huge selection of Italian cookies and pastries as well as most other things that are baked. The biggest issue is once you get something here, no other place will ever be as good.“
“I've never had a bad experience here at Crumbl Cookies!Since moving to the area a few months ago, this has been our go-to Crumbl Cookies spot. We get it probably once a month - yikes! Every time here, though, has been the opposite of yikes - the staff is friendly, the cookies are fresh, it's never busy, always clean, and there's ample parking outside. At my old Crumbl Cookies location in Schaumburg, it was always a tight squeeze and hustle-and-bustle situation inside the store and in the parking lot because it was so busy. This location is bigger with more parking, but it's never busy which I like. Let's be real, Crumbl Cookies are freaking good. There's 4 rotating flavors every single week and 2 constant flavors (chocolate chip & sugar). I always love the chocolate chip and will get it in replacement of one of the rotating cookies when I get a 4-pack. In my opinion the warm cookies are always better than the chilled, but some of the chilled ones are great, too. They also sometimes include a mystery cookie which yes, is a mystery when you get it. I love that they do that, I think it's a fun concept especially if you really don't know which other cookie to get or want to try something new.There's TONS of flavors in general at Crumbl, I can't even select my favorite one. When they have these flavors, I do really enjoy their cinnamon swirl cookie, s'mores, cinnamon fry bread, dulce de leche, Biscoff lava, chocolate cake, buckeye brownie, and basically any flavor that has cinnamon or caramel in it, or that's super chocolatey and gooey. You already know I'll be coming to this location again!“
“Not gonna lie, I ended up here because my husband and I needed a quick snack, and I tried to go to Choo Choo down the street, but they were packed. When I walked in, there was a long line, and that seemed promising, plus it was moving quickly. We wanted something savory, so we ordered a ham and cheese croissant, a goat cheese and pesto croissant, and a spinach quiche. They warmed up the pastries and brought them out to our table pretty quickly. I was surprised the pastries were so good. The croissants were so flakey and delightful. The spinach quiche had a lovely crust. I completely forgot to take pictures because I was in a rush and starving, but I also saw a security sign that said no camera allowed. I wish they had more savory pastry options with meat, but the ham and cheese croissant was all they had when I visited. I did see that they had sandwiches that could be ordered, so I might try that if I am ever in the area again.“
“I stopped by BlackBerry market on yesterday and the atmosphere was busy but flowed smoothly. The smell of coffee was invigorating and I got the drip coffee , a chocolate chip cookie, iced peppermint coffee and a raspberry lemon muffin!! Service was smooth and effective, the breakfast items were yummy and fresh!! The coffee of the coffee!! Strong yet tranquil!! Fresh drip is self serve!! Loved that! The iced peppermint coffee was just what I needed !! Let me say this.. after breakfast and coffee.. I came home cooked a full dinner and washed clothing and was done before 1pm! lol energy!!!! Definitely will go back and recommend!!“
“We had a wedding luncheon for our granddaughter. 1st date was canceled due to bad weather conditions and had to cancel the order, rescheduled March 2nd.Ordered a wedding cake and sweet table trays.Enzo and Amanda were the best.Enzo was very understanding, accommodating and caring.Amanda was amazing. She helped us with the cake design and choosing the right size trays. Her suggestions were perfect!! The wedding cake was absolutely beautiful, moist and exactly as pictured. The trays were so fresh and delicious. Our guests were amazed how delicious everything was.Amanda was so kind and took so much time with us. The customer service and productwas wonderful. Been going to this bakery for years and it's always been the best. Everyone at the luncheon was asking for the bakery name.Thanks to Enzo and Amanda for always taking the time to accommodate the customers. You are the best and very much appreciated. This cake and sweets were absolutely outstanding, as always.Thanks again!!!“
“I ordered the chocolate chip, sugar cookies, and brownies. We had them delivered to our house. The packing was fabulous. No broken cookies or brownies. We tried the chocolate chip cookie and it had big chunks of chocolate and a very good flavor. It was a big cookie that could be shared by two people. We put the others in the freezer until Christmas.“
“My best friend and I had this place for the first time this morning and it was delicious!!! And the price for everything made it 10x better. The bagels were fresh and warm and the cream cheese was to die for! I originally ordered a cheddar bagel but they were out of that so I just got a plain bagel with plain cream cheese and my friend got the egg bagel with plain cream cheese as well. This place was definitely a hidden gem I used to live not even a block away from this location and never knew about it. Now want their bagels everyday! Lol“
“i got there right before 2pm on a saturday and there was barely anything left!! was dying to try one of those sandos but what i did get was delicious. mos def home made...sweet, SWEET japanese lady behind counter, and i am all about supporting small local businesses! RUN AS SOON AS THEY OPEN AND BRING CASH!!“
“What a fantastic Macaron shop - all the pastries and macarons are made fresh daily! They have tons of different flavors for the macarons!! The staff was super friendly and reviewed all the options available for pastries and macarons. LeilaLove is decorated so nicely inside and out - I recommend you check it out!!“
“I wanted to have an authentic polish experience with a friend and this place couldn’t be more authentic. From atmosphere to food to languages spoken, we felt like we were transported to another place. While the stuffed cabbage was our favorite, other food was good. We liked polish style goulash with pancakes, paczki (polish style donut) and rumbo (dessert with rum inside). Iced tea/fruit punch went well with all the food.We witnessed a long line form often with people buying bakery items and food to go. While we were among many who dined it was nice to be part of a busy cafe while enjoying our food. The staff were nice people and I want to come back again. Soup of the day is on my list to try plus other pastries.“
“I love this place ❤️❤️❤️ When I visit my daughter this is the 1st place I want to go. It’s right next to an awesome park that I rake my grandson to & asked him if he’d like to go there. I got an almond croissant & a cup of English Breakfast tea.,Ever since my first experience I always want to go there. It’s very cozy & everyone is so nice there. Been there several times & HIGHLY recommend this place . You’ll just love it!Five stars or more if there is such a thing ❤️❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“A HUGE variety of food in here. Of course, cheesecake is their specialty and the strawberry cheescake was fire. Pretty darn good in the jolly ol La Grange pals! Stopped by with my sis after good ol' Mak's house right around the corner“
“Drove 45 minutes and well worth the trip. I couldn’t choose…so I bought quiche, key lime, chocolate chess, chocolate cream and pecan pies. All fantastic, but the pecan is my absolute fave. Go here. Your taste buds will never forgive you if you don’t!“
“I worked with Dorel when liquidating restaurant equipment. He was knowledgeable, professional and enjoyable at every turn! He even tracked me down after over two years to pay me for a transaction that we had only verbally agree to. This demonstrates great integrity and honesty. I would recommend Champion to anyone!“
“Old-fashioned neighborhood bakery. Shelf that rings the upper reaches of the bakery is lined with cookie jars. Saturday mornings, the line stretches to the door as customers come in for donuts and coffee cakes.Kuppie's is also generous with community, donating product to help either fundraising.“
“Charming old world bakery with fantastic crusty ? bread, fresh baked and delicious. Stop in and get some long Italian bread loaves, and some round crusty village style loaves... Real nice chewy crust, and super soft and fluffy inside, just like Grandma used to buy! I picked up a really nice loaf of regular white bakery bread, which I sliced nice and thick and had with some fresh butter and jam! While you're there, have a nice chat with the sales ladies!“
“Amazing old world flavors and great quality. I can see why you’re open so early and sell out so fast. I’m definitely putting you all at the top of my baked goods list. I’m a professional chef and I’ve hit most of the established bakery’s in the Chicagoland area and this place may have just topped them all!!!“
“A quick Google search led my sweetooth here. What an amazing experience. Very nice roomy and contemporary seating area. Wonderful coffee brewed right in front of me. A wonderful flavor filled tart completed my experience. I can’t wait to come back.“
“She did an incredible job with this 1st birthday cake and delivery was on time, everything as promised!! I could not recommend her more. Flavor of the cake and frosting was also SO GOOD. A lot of time cakes can look pretty but taste terrible. I would highly recommend her.“
